Hi, Can you tell me if this is normal (see pic below) Luna has lost the majority of her puppy teeth. She is currently 5 months and 1 week old. However her two top adult canine teeth have started to grow but the puppy ones are still at the side of the adult ones and the one in the pic shows that the adult one has pushed the baby one out of the gum (you can see the root I think). Ignore the dark coloured stuff, that’s soil from the garden. Is this normal and will the tooth just fall out? Thanks Amanda

Hello everyone! As i mentioned in my introduction topic, my little buddy Odin is currently eating Acana puppy and junior. But the store i get it from at a reasonable price has stopped selling it. They offered alternatives but i don't know if I should switch him or continue to get Acana elsewhere at a much higher price that is stretching my budget. So the brands they offer are Purizon and Wolf of the wilderness. Both brands puppy food is 5% less caloric by the kg than acana but have similar ingredients. If anyone has any tips i would appreciate it

🛑help🛑 Hey! I am feeding my dog the good amount of food and he gets walks and all that stuff but I’m still wondering if he is fat? Or if he’s just a little husky? Or if he’s fine?

Would it be fine to give him a cup less food? 1/2 less in the morning and 1/2 less at night?

Help, We adopted a 3yo last week and it is becoming apparent that the previous owner fed her from the table. We cannot get her to eat her kibble, we are trying the high protein Nuturo and when we first bought it she took a couple of bites and that was it, we have tried mixing a can of wet in and a scrambled egg and nothing seems to work, she will go over and sniff it and then she walks away and lays down. But, as soon as we take a pan out to start cooking our dinner she is right there in the kitchen under foot intently staring at what we are making. We are starting to run out of ideas to get her to eat and we are getting a little worried that she is not eating. Help?

As some of you guys know, my girl has been on restriction for the past three weeks from her last knucklehead move of breaking her tooth and needing a tooth extraction 😖. We have had almost 9 feet of snow up in the hills in the past 48 hours and more to come. Had about 4 inches here but has melted from all the rain. 🥺 I was so hoping to have the pups ready to go up and play by now. But since she had torn out her stitches only 4 days after surgery, it really slowed down the healing and we do not have the go ahead to go up to play. But we were oked to do short trainings outside. They love their new harnesses! Now if I can get them ok with being lined together…

Hello My name is Mark and my husky is named Ty and I’m new to this site. I was wondering if he was to skinny and if I was feeding him enough. He’s 8 months old and last I checked he was 40+ pounds. I feed him 1 1/2 cups of food and I feed him twice a day. So every day I’d feed him 3 cups of food. Also his food is the Blue Buffalo Wilderness Puppy w/ chicken in the blue bag

Hi, My question is can you use dog wipes to clean your dogs intimate areas. Is it safe to use or should I buy a flannel cloth and use some of her puppy shampoo mixed with water to give her a wipe there? Or just use water with the cloth? Thanks Amanda

I had to get fish this month as they didn’t have any chicken left (his usual raw diet). He’s been on this diet for 3 years and had no problem so I’m guessing the change to fish is causing this wheezing/cough. It’s happened very rarely in the past but now it’s happening quite a lot. Should I be concerned/go to the vets? He’s happy as can be and looks healthy all the time apart from these 10-20 second episodes 30DBF202-2F6C-45BD-B0CE-C95B256727E8.MOV

Hi! I just had my husky pup spayed 2 days ago and am a little concerned about her incision site. The general redness around it seems better, but there is a rather large, long red lump right on the sutures. I will note that she has been eating/drinking/going to the bathroom normally and today she seems to have her energy back and is acting more like herself. She is currently on Novox for pain and Trazadone for a sedative. The picture on the left side is from when we brought her home the day of the surgery, and the picture on the right was taken just now, 2 days later.

I tried switching my dog to a salmon-based kibble, thinking it is healthy and that huskies traditionally ate a lot of fish, so it should agree with him. He was fine - active, great poop, fur looked great, etc. But after a week or two, I noticed he had a horrible sour smell - I sniffed him carefully all over and it was not his ears, not his paws, not his back end...the smell is strongest actually on his back! It is a strong sour pungent smell almost like cider vinegar, but worse! ( I knew it was bad because when we boarded him for Thanksgiving, they offered to give him a free bath...:-) We switched him back to his usual lamb&rice kibble and the smell is slowly …

Hello, My one year old male husky has become such a fussy eater (I call him Diva Dog now). My vet put him on alligator food because we thought he had a food allergy but he does not. I have switched his food so many times on him. What do you all feed your Huskies? Right now he is refusing to eat his Blue Wilderness Alligator and Salmon mix but will eat my other husky’s puppy food which is also Blue Wildnerness Salmon but he is not really happy with that either. I just want to get a food that is good for him and that he likes. Thank you all so much for your help. Shelly

I’m hoping someone out there can help me. This is Chance and he is almost 3 years old. We have been fighting a losing battle with Atopic Dermatitis since he was 5 months old. He’s had biopsy’s, bloodwork, and been on more medication than I can count. He’s seen 3 different veterinarians, been on rounds of steroids, keflex, antifungals, anxiety meds, and others. Nothing has made any difference. He’s in pain and it’s breaking my heart. I’m a seasoned husky owner but I’ve never seen anything like this. I hope someone somewhere out there has an answer or has delt with a similar solution. I don’t know what else to do, so hopefully this place can offer me some guidance. Thank yo…

Hi guys, just looking for a bit of advice. We are just in the process of setting routine for or 18month rescue and I’m trying to decide if it’s best to feed him before or after his walks. I know you need to leave it for 1hr either but does anyone know which way round works best? Thanks 😊

Hey guys, I have a 2 year old siberian husky named Milo. For the past 2 months or so he has been coughing quit a bit, almost like hes struggling to breathe sometimes. He still eats, poops and plays like he always has. I took him to the vet and spent thousands on non sense testing and xrays but nothing worked. Im just wondering if anyone has a situation similar or how I can handle this! At the moment we are trying honey to see if it helps. Hes up to date on all his shots and we tried deworming him. Any information is helpful!!

I started switching my pup’s food after reading you guys’s Post about ZRD. Yes, I got paranoid. Hehhe My male started to get scabby patches on his back legs, the girl started getting a patch on her nose, they both had scales on their pads, random diarrhea, and was catching every sickness under the sun. Was just thinking it was food allergies. Now I think it was a mixture of low zinc and food allergies. Since I switched their food and started paying more attention to the ingredients and zinc amounts in their food and treats.... The hair has started growing back on my boys back leg, her nose no longer has any signs of scabbiniess, their stool has been solid…
